CHAPTER 127: High Wind and Bright Character of Chu Imperial Seat
"Here we are." Tie Butian said with a grim face, his expression devoid of emotion. "Chu Imperial Seat, I'll wait for you outside. You can go in and pick whatever you want. Take everything if you want. I absolutely won’t have a single complaint!"
Being forced to collect gambling debts made Tie Butian quite uncomfortable. Throughout history, it seemed that he was the first crown prince to be pressured into collecting gambling debts, marking a historic precedent...
Tie Butian felt a surge of resentment; these words were clearly meant to provoke Chu Yang.
"Look how generous I am! This is called grace! This is called refinement! This is called temperament! Unlike you! Even if street thugs demand gambling debts, they wouldn’t ask for it on the spot..."
Moreover, with just you alone, how much can you possibly take? Tie Butian relished the thought of being generous...
"Alright, alright, hahahaha..." Chu Yang's eyes sparkled, rubbing his hands together, disregarding Tie Butian's dissatisfaction. "Wow haha, his royal highness the crown prince is a good person! I'm going in now..."
Before his words even finished, he vanished with a swoosh, eager to dive inside.
Tie Butian hadn't even had a chance to play modest for a moment before he found himself alone, unable to suppress a wry smile, his face darkening. He thought, "This Chu King of Hell seems like he went crazy from poverty in his past life... Just arrived at Iron Cloud and in one night plundered dozens of wealthy families. Now seeing the royal palace's treasury, he looks just like a mountain bandit who has entered a village, all excited... Truly contemptible!"
With that thought, he had a chair brought over and casually sat down in front of the treasury, thinking to himself, I want to see how much you can take away. Look at you, a miser... humph...
As Chu Yang stepped into the treasury, he was immediately dazzled. My goodness, so many good things...
The Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian also instantly became active, eager to try.
"Don’t rush, let’s take it one step at a time." Chu Yang remained calm. Looking at the massive treasury, he felt very excited. Truly, it was the royal palace, and it was indeed a result of years of accumulation...
At the front, there were various strange metals, as if fearing that Chu Yang wouldn’t recognize them, each one even had a label stuck to it.
"How standardized." Chu Yang exclaimed in admiration. "This saves me so much effort..."
With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword appeared in his hand, shining brightly.
"Suck! Don’t hold back, just absorb!" Chu Yang’s eyes sparkled. "Anything that isn’t very rare, just leave one or two pieces; those rare items that are hard to find outside, drain them! No problem..."
The tip of the Nine Calamity Sword was like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for years, devouring everything in sight with the gestures of Chu Yang...
Waiting outside, Tie Butian wondered why he hadn’t come out yet. He became increasingly suspicious.
Could this Chu King of Hell really be inside eating those medicinal herbs? The treasury is this big, surely he wouldn't get lost?
He wanted to go in and take a look, but what he had previously said was too full of bravado. Going in seemed suspicious and would allow this Chu King of Hell to claim that he couldn't take the loss...
After thinking for a long time, Tie Butian ultimately decided to remain by the entrance. He resolutely thought: Chu King of Hell, I want to see how long you can stay in there! Today, I'm going to wear you out!
After a long time, as Tie Butian was running out of patience...
Finally—
Chu King of Hell emerged; when he did, he appeared quite displeased, seemingly very unsatisfied, as if the treasury in the royal palace had greatly disappointed him...
In Chu Yang’s left hand were a few medicinal herbs; in his right hand, he was holding two shiny pieces of metal...
"Ah..." After coming out, Chu Yang sighed first, his expression sincere, filled with disappointment.
